A CDN caches (= stores) the bits they provide. In other words, they are hosting contents on others behalf. I can't speak to a legal distinction, but if you torrent child pornography, I'm pretty sure you aren't going far with a claim that you were "just a CDN".

I suggest you look into safe harbor laws when it comes to ISPs. They have very broad protection from the consequences of their users' actions.
